The great Falls of Niagara are within half an hour's ride of the 
Pan-American Exposition grounds and constitute one of the 
drawing cards of the Exposition. At the Falls, also, are situ- 
ated the largest electric power plants in the world, which no 
visitor to the Exposition should fail to see. It is from the larg- 
est of these power plants that the Exposition will derive its 
motive power, using the entire output of a 5,000 horse-power 
dynamo. 




"Goddess of Light." 

The crowning figure 

of the Electric Tower. 

Herbert Adams, 

Sculptor. 



This Tower, 391 feet 
high, is a structure of 
richly moulded work, 
with many costly groups 
of sculpture adorning its 
salient points. It will 
stand in a broad basin, 
and from a niche in its 
southern face will gush 
a cascade 30 feet wide 
and 70 feet high.

The Machinery Building covers an area of about four acres, and will contain a very wonderful 
display of modern machinery of American invention, showing the progress that has been made 
within the last few years. The transportation exhibits will include all of the very latest specimens 
of road vehicles, locomotives, cars and railroad appliances. 




In the Electricity Building will be shown the largest display of electrical machinery and appliances ever 
presented. Nearly every article will be of the latest design, and the visitor may expect novelties with- 
out number in this interesting division. 




The Plaza is an open space immediately north of the Electric Tower, and is 350 feet by 500 
feet. On the east side is the large entrance building of the Stadium, and on the north the 
Propylaea, a section of which is shown in the illustration. On the west is the building for 
restaurant purposes forming also the eastern entrance to the Midway. The Midway is 
three-fifths of a mile long, giving more than a mile of frontage, and presenting the most 
interesting and wonderful collection of entertainment novelties ever brought together.

This structure marks 
the northern bound- 
ary of the Plaza, and 
is designed as a 
screen separating 
the Exposition from 
the noise and smoke 
incident to the traffic 
of steam railways 
which pass the Ex- 
position grounds up- 
on the northern side. 
The Propylaea is 5 00 
feet long with a mas- 
sive towered en- 
trance at each end.

iGRlCULTURAL BUILDIMG, 



The Agricultural Building will contain exhibits of agricultural products, 
processes and articles pertaining to the farm, of a most interesting charac- 
ter. In these days of scientific farming the successful agriculturist finds it 
necessary to acquire a fair knowledge of many of the sciences. The agri- 
cultural exhibits will show many of the wonderful possibilities in farm work.

In the Stadium will be seats for 12,000 people. It contains a quarter-mile racing track and ample 
space for all the popular athletic games. Here also will be the displays of live-stock, automobiles 
and other road vehicles, farm and road machinery in motion. The large space beneath the seats 
will be used for exhibits. 



This picture of a corner 
of the Stadium shows the 
massive and beautiful cliar- 
acter of the architecture. 
This -will be a very large 
structure, and during the 
Exposition season there will 
be held an athletic carnival 
of particular interest. The 
entrance to the Stadium is 
a large building having an 
arcaded arrangement on the 
ground floor. The upper 
floors are to be used for 
restaurant purposes. 





The Temple of Music is one of the most beautiful of the 
Exposition buildings. It provides an auditorium with a 
seating capacity of 2,200, and contains one of the largest 
and finest pipe organs ever built in the United States.

A glimpse of the Exposition Towers from the 
grounds at the west of the Albright Art Gallery. 



The North Bay is particularly 
interesting from the fact that 
upon its shores will be situ- 
ated the Albright Art Gallery 
and the New York State 
Building, upon opposite sides. 
A magnificent new bridge is 
being constructed, and over 
this bridge the visitor will 
pass from the main southern 
entrance of the Exposition 
to the great group of build- 
ings north of the lake. 








YORK 5TATE BWILDIWSj) PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION CO. 



At the close of the Exposition this magnificent marble structure 
will become the property of the Buffalo Historical Society. Its 
cost is upwards of $170,000, contributed by the State, the His- 
torical Society and the City of Buffalo. 




The Service Building was the first 
structure erected on the Exposition 
grounds. It is the administrative 
headquarters of the Exposition, all 
of the officers whose presence is 
required upon the grounds having 
their headquarters there.
